While the Wyoming Legislative Session was slowed down by two snow days, it has finally reached the crossover point in the session. Crossover is the time in the middle of the session when the House Bills that passed all the way through the House “cross-over” to the Senate and the Senate Files “cross-over” to the House of Representatives.
Things are moving very fast in the legislature and so I will provide a chart to show where the legislation we are following is in the process.Â

Each of these bills has been selected because of the particular impact they can have on life, religious freedom, and family values.
After a milestone like Crossover Day, I want to make sure that our attitudes reflect how God wants us to view things – grateful for the blessings He gave, confident and hopeful in His promises, committed to steadfast walking with Him, giving Him all the glory, not anxious, yet also diligent, strategic, and realistic in our preparations to meet the enormity of the challenges ahead.
We will continue to inform you as things progress.
